The first thing anyone saw when they walked into Anna Rose’s home was this angry maroon wall glaring out at them from behind the banister’s grimace.
Do you see it too?
Yikesicles! Not the most welcoming of welcomes. Anna Rose couldn’t wait to change it up, and started with a light gray paint for the wall, and finished by ditching the honey-oak completely for a custom built banister that wants to wrap you in a loving embrace with its strong and sturdy arms. I … could possibly be reading a bit too much into this.
Quite a change for the better! See more on her blog The How-To Gal, and check out her stained kitchen cabinet makeover if you missed that earlier this week too!

Isn’t it interesting how everyone was diving head first into the red tones not too long ago (including me, had a full red living room) – and while it was fun, it can be a lot to look at. I bet the room looks SO much bigger now! I wonder what color we’ll dive into in the next five years?
